Gender and Global Diplomacy: Bridging Local and International Perspectives

This panel explores the role of gender in shaping foreign policy and international relations in local and global contexts. With case studies from the Global South, Spain, and the European Union, the paper discuss how gender dynamics influence peacebuilding, policy-making, and international commitments to women's rights. The papers will also highlight the intersectionality of feminist solidarity amid conflicting interests, the challenges of gender mainstreaming in peace and security, and the impact of women's leadership on global diplomacy.
